AKA "Science Fair"

Back in the good old days, we used to have "Science Fairs", but in an effort to reflect the wide variety of project categories involved in the fair, we ere upgrading, revamping, and renaming our traditional science fair into "STEM Research Fair" to capture what the fair is all about - playing, discovering, and researching with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)

Date: February 6th 2020

Location: Sweetwater High School

USD - Expanding your Horizons Conference for Girls - March 14

The annual STEM conference is for girls in grades 6-10th. Girl participants will be grouped & connected with STEM professionals in the San Diego community. Each group of 15-20 girls will be mentored by 2-3 female STEM undergraduate students, providing the girls with additional STEM-based interactions. Our goal is to increase the girls’ interest in STEM careers by providing exciting and engaging hands-on learning experiences.

Super Hack: San Diego's First High-School Hackathon

San Diego, America's finest city, is faced with an issue. Despite the plethora of educational opportunities and creative minds, students aren't actively encouraged to "make." While theory is in our future, practicality must not be overlooked, and the art of practicality is derived through events such as hackathons. In lieu of this demand, Super Hack was started with one goal and one goal only in mind: create an event revolving around making.

Message from Katie Okano, TitanBOT student -CEO for 2019-20-

Thank you Sweetwater Alliance!

"Thank you so much for taking part in our first Sweetwater Alliance kickoff! It was truly amazing seeing all of the teams collaborate and network at the event. We were so honored to have all four district FRC teams join us-- Sweetwater High's Robosapiens, Montgomery High's Team Pharaohs, Southwest High's Pi-rtz, and Hilltop High's Lancer EVO. This would not have been possible without your attendance and the energy that you brought with you! We hope you guys had as much fun as we did!"
